You are delusional if you believe that. I live in the 2nd biggest city in my state. We have one Sam’s Club, a Target, FIVE Walmarts in city limits and five more Walmarts within a 20 minute drive.

And yet, we still have smaller stores like Harps, Ollie’s, several of those “cost plus 10%” stores, small ethnic stores, Dollar Generals, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Big Lots, and a number of “mom and pop” types that specialize in a niche.

Don’t like Walmart? Chances are, there’s a Dollar General or other smaller store near you. In fact, you are actually more likely have a Dollar General or an equivalent near you, as Walmart operates 10k stores across the globe while DG has 14k in just 44 states.
